I have rescued and I'm tidying up a file from an old disk.  I found a
microfiche in the university library once: working papers from the
University of Auckland on a list of Proto-Polynesian roots.  An obliging
librarian photocopied the entire thing for me at my expense.  The disk I
typed the PP roots on has gone bad and I'm going to have to type some of
it in again from my papers (only a small bit though).  Once I'm finished
I can attach it to an email if anyone wants it.  Due to size I would
prefer to post it offlist.
